Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience for me. The rooms had everything I needed for a comfortable stay and were great for making my own meals. While the rooms were nice and clean, some had issues with the door locks. The service was generally friendly and very helpful, except for some indifference from certain staff members. The location couldn't have been better with its proximity to the beach and a nearby supermarket, although the service quality was slightly lacking. The dining experience left much to be desired as breakfast was held at a small family-run café, leading to a disappointing outcome. The facilities of the hotel were moderate overall.
The hotel offers a cozy stay with a separate living room, well-equipped washroom, and highly attentive staff. The food and drink options are outstanding, although some rooms lack standard amenities. Overall, a decent choice for a relaxing vacation.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were simple and clean, offering great value for the location. The service was top-notch with polite and friendly staff. The location was superb, within walking distance of restaurants and the lively St Lawrence Gap. The dining experience was delightful, especially at the nearby family-run café. Overall, a wonderful choice for a relaxing vacation.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with spacious rooms equipped with all amenities one would need, though it would be even better if the rooms faced the sea. The service is professional and attentive, making for a pleasant experience overall.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a kitchenette for simple cooking, but the lack of A/C in the living room area can be stifling in the Bajan humidity. The rooms are of good size, equipped with air conditioning, a good shower, cleaned daily, and comfortable. However, the view overlooks the parking and road rather than a garden.
The hotel had a sea view room with a kitchen, a good size, huge bed, but very basic and in need of refurbishment. Plenty of wooden coat hangers in the cupboard. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Ideal location for exploring the island, right next to the beach and a short walk from bars and restaurants. Dining options were terrible, especially in relation to where breakfast is served.
